Cloud migration databases for mission-critical business applications. This document runs through some of the core approaches that Cloud DBAs need to effectively manage these types of applications. These include performance enhancement via sharing, replication, and read replicas; high availability and disaster recovery via auto-scaling, failover, and backups. Various effective security measures, like data encryption, access control, and real-time detection of malicious activities, are discussed for better embedding of security mechanisms in databases. It then analyses cost optimization and financial management practices, including resource management, data tiring, and observability, as well as how to balance efficient infrastructure with budget constraints. It also emphasizes the knowledge of SQL (Structured Query Language) and NoSQL (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra) database systems are crucial to creating scalable and adaptive solutions. This holistic framework empowers DBAs to optimize for the changing demands of cloud-based mission-critical applications while maximizing performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.
